| Abstract |
|
Down syndrome is the most common autosomal syndrome in man. The incidence of trisomy 21
due to translocation is about 3.5-5%. Translocations are usually centric fusions between a 21 and a
D group (54.2%) or a G group (40.9%) chromosome. Since the short arm of 21 carries no phenotypically
active genes, even if the short arm of 21 is lost, usually there is no imbalance with
clinical significance. Rare translocations in Down syndrome may also occur between a 21 and other
chromosomes (4.9%). We experienced a case of unusual (1q;21q) translocation Down syndrome
inherited from a t(1q;21q) balanced carrier mother. The segmental trisomy was confirmed by FISH
analysis. This is the first case of a familial Down syndrome with t(1q;21q) in Korea. |
